Oh cummon - it's all bollocks, isn't it. I'm a Geordie honestly (Wallsend born - when they launched a ship the back-draft took the ornaments off the mantlepiece - so they tell me).
But I've lived in Wales, Mexico and Norwich. And it isn't the geography or the accent. People in the NE can be warm and can be rude and exclusive.
People in North Wales don't talk Welsh to piss you off but because it's easier for them, especially after a couple of pints.
People in East Anglia may know their cousins rather better than they ought but, I tell ya, the chat and the fun on the local buses is unrivalled.
And so to sex. I have enjoyed time with men from seven countries let alone different regions of England and believe me, geography doesn't enter into it!!!!!!!!!
Don't EVER let anyone make you feel different, inadequate or inferior because of where you came from.
Jezzay.
just hope you never bump into anyone from Ashington in Northumberland, they have a dialect of there own. If you cannot understand a Geordie, you will never understand anyone from Ashington.

Then there's the people from other places such as Hartlepool who affectionately are called Monkey Hangers.
I hale from Teeside if you go to Hartlepool its not recomended to mention the monkey unlese you are a olimpice runer.
One is extremely shocked and somewhat surprised that the proprioitor of this marvelous internet website has not informed the southern lady, who goes by the username Venus, that she is far better off in the Northern areas of the country. One feels she talks rather too much to be an occupant of the southern region.

For me, everything north of Manchester is the North West. Everything north of Sheffield is the north East, everything south of the M4 is southern england and the rest is the midlands. Liverpool and Manchester are both north west, although it's easy enough to tell the difference. Just think Oasis and Jennifer Ellison.
Try doing it in Wales though, there's an even stronger and more obvious north/south divide there. Anyone who lives there would understand.
suppose the rest of it was fairly accurate though!
